Project Feedback! #1

Open codepathreview opened 4 years ago

codepathreview commented 4 years ago

Looks good, this exercise is intended in part to give you an introduction to the general rhythm of this course. The course is entirely project-based with an app being assigned each week and then due the following week. Each project builds on the last to help each engineer learn the practical elements of iOS development and best practices as quickly as possible. We also do a code review for each submitted project once the program begins.

The next step is to continue working on optional features and extending your tip calculator. With regards to extensions to implement, we are looking for developers with an interest in user experience and product development so be sure to focus on additional functional enhancements and/or improving the user interface of the app.

We have a detailed Prework Feedback Guide which gives a high-level overview of the concepts covered in the project. Take a moment to go through the Swift 3 style guides and tweak your project to conform to these style conventions.

Check out some past excellent submissions here. You can update your submission at any time here, and it will notify us to review again.

👍 Nice work! The point of this homework was to get a chance to implement a TableView (one of the most common views in iOS) and to work with real data over the network (in this case from the Movies Database API).

A key part of these projects is that you add additional features and tweak the UI / UX because that will provide the most learning opportunities. We encourage you to complete the projects early each week with the required stories and then spend time adding your own UI elements and experimenting with optional extensions that will improve the user experience.

We have a detailed Assignment 1 Feedback Guide which covers the best practices for implementing this assignment. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine ways you might be able to improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing these improvements as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of iOS development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.

Check out the assignment grading page for a breakdown of how submissions are scored.

If you have any technical questions about the project or concepts covered this week, post a question on our Discussions Forum and mark the question as type, "Curiosity". For general questions email us at, support@codepath.org. /cc @codepathreview

👍 Nice work! The point of this homework was to get familiar with two common forms of navigation in iOS (push and tab bar). It also provided a chance to extend your Flicks app in new ways.

We have a detailed Project 2 Feedback Guide which covers the best practices for implementing this assignment. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine ways you might be able to improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing these improvements as well.

This week, we continued to explore how to build apps that use an API (like Twitter). Unlike the movies app, we created a new class called TwitterAPICaller to help us interact with the API. We're also starting to introduce Auto Layout, which is how you make your app work for different phone sizes. Now that you've finished the app for the week, it's good to reflect on a few things:

Twitter is an example of a RESTful API, and they generally follow the same pattern. It might be interesting to look at other APIs like Yelp, Foursquare, Google, etc. In a company (or your own app), you'll probably be working with a private API, but it'll also be structured like the Twitter API.

Looks like you did not link your gif walkthrough for this assignment or it is not rendering (animating) properly when viewed in the README 😬. The gif helps us to make sure we don't miss any required or optional stories you have completed.

Render your gif: Once you have uploaded your gif to a site like imgur you can render it using the following syntax.

<img src="my_gif_address.gif", width=250 />

Make sure all you have completed the following steps to completing your README:

  1. Make sure you have the correct README for this assignment, go to the "Setup" section in Assignment Tab for the corresponding week in the course portal.
  2. Please mark of all completed stories [x]
  3. Add a link to your animated gif walkthough to your README and make sure it renders (animates) when viewing the README.

Your assignment is incomplete until the README and gif is complete. Once completed, please push your updates and submit your assignment again so we can regrade it.

Still confused about how to properly submit your assignment? Check out the Submitting Coursework for detailed instructions.

Whenever you make updates to your project that require re-grading, you need to re-submit your project using the submit button on the associated assignment page in the course portal. This will flag your project as “updated” on our end and we know to re-grade.

You should re-submit your assignment anytime you:

Hopefully, you're beginning to see how you can assemble the things you've learned from the projects to build an app that you design yourself. Here are a few new concepts that we learned from this project that you should reflect on:

From here on out there are no more assignments as the focus shifts to the final group project. You'll be working over the next several weeks to build your app idea with your team and then finishing the class with a demo day!
